From question, the atom jumps from one spectral line to another spectral line. The wavelength of the atom is given by the formula:
Where,
‘Z’ is the atomic number
n1 and n2 is the principal quantum number
R∞ is the Rydberg constant. (1.09737 × 107 m-1)
Calculation:
When the atom jumps from third excited state to the second excited state:
When the atom jumps from second excited state to the first excited state:
From question,
